Marshall, quit being such a tease and post some more pictures! I especially want to see the door panels. What did you do for a console?

pic of the door trim, note elec window central locking switches. also controlls on side of the ZX300 seats, yet to install speakers. If i show all the pics you'll have nothing to look forward to. besides it is such a saga to post a pic the way we have to now, i can only cope with one a day.

Hey Marshall, how close demensionally is your falcon to our mustang? Or is the falcon similar to a different model over here?

Not sure what US car is similar to the Aussie Falcon I used as a donor vehicle. I had to narrow the dash 6" but retain all the electrics, heater and air conditioning. It was a big job, anyone considering similar should look for a dash which is close to the origional Mustang.

simply stunning... I have seen your independent as well and you are just going all out.. are you doing most of this work or having it done? Cause I am really impressed... you are making all these pimp my ride shows look absolutely ATROCIOUS... haha no playstation two and euro taillights on this ride..

I love to fiddle in the garage and do all my own work except welding, spray paint and upholstery. Most of this kind of work just requires lots of patience and basic metalworking skills one learns in high school.

You really do some fabulous work. I was just bustin yer ballz a little back there on the polished exhaust. If you had a shop over in the US, I bet you would have more work than you could ever handle and at a premium price too. Your work NEEDS to be showcased in one of the Mustang mags. It is simply awesome.
I had a desire to get my car featured in Mustang & Ford magazine - despite twice sending them some tempting pics of the innovations it didn't even rate a response. I am told that American magazines are not interested in publishing articles on cars in other countries. Thats a shame because we foreign car nuts spend heaps on parts from US suppliers advertised in their magazines.
Never mind, I can share it with you guys (n' gals) on stangnet.

then this just demonstrates that they do not understand their own market. There are over 1500 members of the dutch mustang club, most with multiple ponies and over 3000 members of the Finnish mustang club, and a lot of those people get MM and M&FF. They would be totally jacked to see a local car featured in one of the issues. Everybody here orders from NPD and MU, to name a few. I guess you can lead a hore to culture but you can't make her think.

Hey I have some family in Australia. I'll come over there take some pictures of your car and then call the Mustang Mags' and tell them it's mine. When they show up I'll tell them it's really in Australia and it belongs to you! LOL Maybe we can get that sweet ride featured that way.Marshall said:
I suspect the reason they don't do other countries Mustangs is due to budget restrictions. But I would think that they could hire a Photographer over there and do a phone interview.
They clearly do not understand their market. Back me up here Guys and Gays, I don't car where the Mustang is from I just want to see & read about some badass rides like this one!

I was just reading through my May issue of Mustang Monthly and the have a story called "The European Connection" about a man that owns the only two Shelby Europa convertibles in Finland. Maybe you should give them another try! 
I would love to read an article on your car

Screw the magazines... they talk big, but they follow the market, they don't surf the front edge like they think they do. The spend way too much time and money pandering to their advertisers rather than looking for real enthusiast work and inovations. Afterall, how would they make money from printing your car? I don't see much on there that can be bought from one of their advertisers.Marshall said:
Instead, hopefully the folks here at Stangnet will recognize your excellent work and maybe publish info on it the front of the site instead. I think internet publication on one of the big enthusiast sites is equally prestigious, so I think it'd be nice.
I think I'll email MRaburn...

Actually I spent over $8,000 on valance,trunk,hood,bonnet,glass,rubbers,wheels,chrome bits,door locks,electric windows etc - all from advertisers in M&F. I also offered to cover the cost of the photoshoot.......
oh well........
